Not only is it still supported[1] -- and not just by various X sample
implementations, it's actually *documented*[2].
[1] atobm (1x) - bitmap editor and converter utilities for the X Window System
bmtoa (1x) - bitmap editor and converter utilities for the X Window System
pbmtoascii (1) - convert a portable bitmap into ASCII graphics
pbmtoatk (1) - convert portable bitmap to Andrew Toolkit raster object
pbmtoxbm (1) - convert a portable bitmap into an X11 bitmap
xbmtopbm (1) - convert an X11 or X10 bitmap into a portable bitmap
